You'll probably need to install the corresponding Intel firmware for the network card onto the NetVM template. That'll be tricky though if you don't have network access to begin with since you'd probably have to use a USB flash drive or something. Not sure if you're using a Fedora or Debian template for your NetVM, but as next steps, I would suggest you search for how to get that wifi card working on that particular disto by itself including figuring out the name of the firmware package for your specific wifi card, download that package onto a USB drive using a different computer, and then look up how to transfer files on Qubes to different VMs using a USB drive. It shouldn't be too hard to figure out, especially if you have prior experience with Linux. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
